This weekend, it was time for goodbyes in the Premier League. If Manchester City paid tribute to Pep Guardiola, Bernardo Silva and John Stones, Liverpool gathered one last time around Mohamed Salah. The Pharaoh bowed out after several years of good and loyal service, as well as numerous titles. After multiple tributes, he confided: “Thank God I ended my time at Liverpool that way. I accomplished everything, I leave leaving people proud of what I did. I feel like I’ve, to a large extent, put the team back where it deserves among the big guys, and that’s the most important thing for me. I expected certain things, but not to accomplish everything with the team and individually. I won almost every title. Today (yesterday) was very difficult psychologically, because it was my last match in a place where I lived for nine years, where I spent the best days of my youth. But thank God, when I look back on it all, I feel like I lived my youth to the fullest, that I did and achieved everything in football, and that I lived my life within the club. So I couldn’t hope for anything more.»
The winger was subsequently questioned about his future, he who will be free from any contract on July 1. “I’ll see.” I have time now. I will play in the World Cup and then everything will become clear. If there is a good opportunity between now and then, I will decide, and if not, I will make my decision after the World Cup.” Mo Salah therefore doesn’t hold back anything. Above all, he wants to enjoy the World Cup. “I hope that many Egyptians will come and achieve what I did, because that is one of the dreams I had when I arrived in Europe: that doors will open for many to become professionals. Thank God we have many talents, but we need an opportunity, and not just an opportunity, but also work and effort. It is essential that they are aware that they will sometimes have to make sacrifices, such as that of their youth, to succeed. The message got through.
